Kathinka Von Deichmann - Polina Kudermetova

Assessing the factors of surprise in this tournament, today I plan to go with a slightly more interesting choice with a huge value. Referring to statistics, it is clear to everyone that Kudermetova has a higher ranking, a better balance, and so on. But if we were to rely solely on statistics, then everyone would be a millionaire. For example, the case of Petra Martic showed that she had no motivation at all. We ask why all the stars withdraw from the tournament? One of the reasons is that when they sign up for the tournament and then do not show up, they are fined with substantial penalties, but it is not in their plans to continue playing in the tournament. Therefore, in this case, let's also try when Kudermetova played in the USA Midland tournament last month, in Dubai ITF tournament last week, and now just before Christmas in France, although not even Deichman, who had a week off and was neither injured nor exhausted, could fight when she took a set from Parks solidly. My hypothesis is that she may be a little tired and wanting to rest, especially before the holidays, so I am going with Peru by a small margin. A safer option would be +1.5 set.
